Comment
ES_F The Aug 16th high held as resistance sending price down for the past 2 days. ES now finding support at the daily 9 ema similar to NQ. Expecting pronounced bounce here. Use the 30 min 9/21/55 emas to keep you on the right side of the intraday trend. Currently still down. If price holds the daily 9 ema a retest of the Aug 16h high is possible. If the low of day is broken look for the green box as next support.

Comment
ES_F gave a tradeable bounce at the 9 ema but has corrected lower again. First support come in at the 618 Fib. May see some sideways price action to close the week. Market has a slow tempo today.
